SAN JOSE — Sitting behind the net as the action swirls, from side to side, from end to end, his eyes rarely leave the ice.
And when pucks fly in his direction, he stabs out a hand a split second before they smack into the glass.

He played against Steven Stamkos a couple of times in tournaments.
And saw him on plenty of other occasions.
This was years ago for the Ontario kids — back in their minor-hockey days, their tween days.

Another day, another injury report from the Calgary Flames.
And it has to come with some disappointment considering that, just mere hours before Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings, the entire roster appeared to (finally) be intact.

If he can get his left skate on tonight, he’ll probably play.
Simple as that.
Flames rookie C Josh Jooris, after blocking a shot last night against the Dallas Stars, was wearing a walking cast this morning at the team’s hotel in Vancouver.
